My Fake Boyfriend

Bonus Chapter 16: No Cure But Kisses

"Yes, you." She snapped tiredly before flicking her hair out of her face with a whimper. He held the laughter in at the action as he processed her words.

"Okay?" Was all he could say, still feeling confused. He walked towards her slowly, but stopped a few inches away, feeling suddenly unsure of himself. She had never been really close to him before; what if she noticed his rapid heartbeat? He didn't want that.

"Now what?" He questioned instead of delving into his thoughts and be watched cautiously as she walked up slowly towards him, extending her hands out. It looked as though she would push him, but instead she pushed him down to sit on the bed. The unpredictable action made him frown yet again.

"What are you d-" She cut him off then with a scorching kiss against his jawline, making his jaw clench instinctively. His heart lulled to a complete stop at the action, blood pounding in his ears at the feel of her soft lips: the very lips he would often end up ogling at. His body failed him then, laying dead in lustful shock as she trailed her nose up the crook of his neck. His body shuddered involuntarily and he couldn't help but close his eyes as she let out a soft whine. Her scent was consuming his entire being then and he feared his teeth would break from how hard he was clenching his jaw. It was then that she bit down on a particular sensitive spot by his collar bone and he moved back, pulling Lexi away with her arms before he could make any accidental, compromising sound.

"Lexi?" He questioned, trying to control his breathing. He cursed at how gravelly his voice was gone as he searched her eyes. She was staring at him so intensely that he felt he'd unravel under her gaze.

"Aaron." She responded in a soft tone that caressed him even more and he leaned in to taste her lips again. It was only when she stumbled closer to him that he broke out of his haze, staring at her odd behaviour in confusion.

He had an inkling, but he sniffed to make sure and it was then that he realised why she was acting the way she was. He couldn't help the pit forming in his gut as he moved away, jaw clenched in anger.

"You're drunk." He said more than asked, trying to hide the tirade of emotions that threatened to spill. It was with but one smell of alcohol that he felt the nausea; the dampening of his hands. One smell and he felt like a young boy again, watching as his mother cried on the kitchen floor, clutching the bottle in her shaking hands. One smell and he would remember seeing her passed out on the sofa when he'd come back to school; he'd remember running up to her each time with a hand under her nose to check if she was still breathing. He couldn't forget searching her gaze at the kitchen table for some semblance of the mother he once had, but to no avail. She had been snatched away by the infidelity committed by his father.

"Not drunk. I prefer the term eccentric" Lexi's slur brought him back to reality and he tried hard to repress the grief, keeping his face stayed stone-like.

"Neither of them change the fact that we should stop this." His voice was dark, holding a warning, but it didn't seem as though it registered to her by the way she was staring at him. Her heavy gaze roamed his body, making his heart thunder like a traitor. He was supposed to be angry yet he still watched her tepidly; still felt his hands clench by his side with nerves.

Even more so when she raised her hand to his face, pushing the hair out of his eyes. He watched my every moment intently, too scared to even breathe. She brought her face closer to his then with a confidence that unnerved him and he tensed as her sweet scent consumed him.

"We should stop, but I don't want to." She whispered, making his heart thundering and- with that- she closed the gap between them.

He tensed at first, not able to register that the lips he had been dreaming about were now softly against his. He only needed a moment to process this and then he was truly unraveled by her. He kissed back with as much vivacity as he could muster, his hands feverishly grabbing her in the fear she would pull away. He felt her gasp into the kiss and he sighed into it, relishing the feel of her warm back from under her shirt. He was touching her naked back. It was only when his hand roamed high enough to touch her bra that he jerked away, finally realising what he had been doing to a drunk girl.

The girl he had wanted to kiss as soon as he had seen her by her locker, he had taken advantage of when she wasn't fully conscious of her actions. Was he truly that disgusting?

"Fuck" He muttered to himself, angry at what he had done; angry that he had allowed her to see the side of him that he hated. His deplorable side that resembled his father, he had wanted to protect her from his dark ailment. She was refreshing, a light in his otherwise dark life and he hated that he put himself onto her; he brought her into his decrepit life.

He sat up with his head in in hands, feeling the nausea again. His mother was right- he was just like him.

"What happened?" Lexi's voice broke through the silence and he watched from his peripheral as she raised a hand towards him, but he stopped it before it could touch him, knowing all too well that he would pull her into him again. Her lips were addictive and he craved them yet again.

"Don't touch me. I don't know if I'd be able to control myself again." He told her honestly, pushing her hand away as he tried to think of anything else but her alluring taste. He had to move past it or he'd dive for her yet again.

"But, Aaron?" Her voice was meek now, not certain and he sighed to keep his composure.

"Mm?" He grunted in response because that's all he could muster then and a small silence followed before she sighed.

"Why do you hate me?" Her question was quiet, pained and he snapped his gaze towards her doe eyes, glistening with the moonlight; her now-stained lips and her smooth skin.

And, in that very moment, he did hate her for the way she took his breath and heartbeat away.

I raised my hand to his face and pushed the hair out of his eyes. He watched my every moment. I brought my face closer to his and our breath mixed together.

"We should stop, but I don't want to" I whispered and, with that, I closed the gap between us.

Aaron tensed at first, but then kissed back. Hard. This was the most passion and lust I've seen coming from Aaron and I liked it. I liked it more than I would like to admit. He feverishly kissed back, his hands going grabbing me in his hold and I gasped as I felt his cold hands on my warm back. It felt so exhilarating. So enthralling. One minute he was holding me tight and then suddenly he was gone.
